Answer No 1:

One of the genes shown in the diagram is for  flower position.

A gene can be best described as basic unit of heredity. A gene comprises of two alleles. The allele which masks the effect of the other allele is said to be dominant. The allele which gets masked by the dominant allele is said to recessive. The dominant allele is usually represented by a capital letter. The recessive allele is usually represented by a small letter.

The gene for axial flower position is dominant over the allele of terminal flower position.

Answer No 2:

The possible phenotypic alleles for that gene are the axial flower position and terminal flower position.

Phenotype can be described as those characteristics which can be observed.  They comprise of the physical properties of a trait.

In the above example, two of the flower positions, axial flower position and terminal flower position, can be seen and observed. Hence, these are the phenotypic traits.

Answer No 3:  

This plant is heterozygous for flower position and pod shape.

When the two alleles of a gene are different, they are termed as heterozygous. When the two alleles of a gene are similar, they are termed as homozygous.

As the allele of flower position are different  (Aa), hence they are heterozygous.

As the alleles for pod shape are different (Ii), hence they are heterozygous.

The alleles for height are however homozygous (tt).

Why do adult urochordates (tunicates) lack notochords, even though larval urochordates have them? Larvae use notochords to _____
kirza4 [7]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A tunicate is marine invertebrate animal  which is a part of chordates. They have notochords and dorsal nerve chord. The subphylum of the organism is called as Urochordata.

The adult urochordates lack notochord but the larval stage of the urochordates have notochord. This is because it helps in swimming of the organism which is required only at the larval stage.

The adult stage of the tunicates is sessile and they do not swim so they do not require notochord.

Explain the 6 steps of how Darwin theorized how the finches formed new species:
Scilla [17]
Overproduction
Most species produce more offspring than can survive.

Competition
Since living space and food are limited, organisms must compete for the necessities.

Variation
Differences between individuals in a population.

Adaptations
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival.

Natural selection
The environment selects organisms with optimal traits to be the parents of the next generation.

Speciation
Over many generations, favorable adaptations accumulate and may result in a new species.

When gas molecules begin to clump together in molecular cloud they increase the
Schach [20]

At the center of the cloud, more weight of the gas molecules are present.

The mass or weight at the center of the cloud increases when the gas molecules group together in a molecular cloud because more gas molecules are present at the center which combines with each other leads to heavier weight of gas molecules. The combination of gas molecules make the center of the molecular cloud denser as compared to other parts of the cloud so we can conclude that increase in mass occur at the center of the cloud.
